Generation 8
8-92. MARY BOATWRIGHT (ANDREW DRURY8, LEWIS7, WILLIAM6, THOMAS5, JOHN4, JOHN3, JOHN2, Not Yet Determined1) was born 1817 in Chesterfield County, South Carolina.
8-93. THOMAS BOATWRIGHT (ANDREW DRURY8, LEWIS7, WILLIAM6, THOMAS5, JOHN4, JOHN3, JOHN2, Not Yet Determined1) was born 1819 in Chesterfield County, South Carolina, and died 1887 in Bibb County, Georgia. He married ARTIMICIA WYNNE 21 Jun 1849 in Richmond County, Georgia. She was born 1834 in Georgia, and died 1904 in Brazos County, Texas.
Notes for THOMAS BOATWRIGHT:
My assertion that Andrew and Levicia are the parents of Thomas is based upon information provided to me by another researcher, Charles Purvis, who cites the widow's pension record for Levicia's second husband, Obediah Gulledge (although I don't have this record myself). This is also supported by the 1850 census (Roll M432-851, page 127b, 452/452, Chesterfield Co. SC) which shows Thomas and Artimecia in the same household as Obediah and Levicia Gulledge. A third source further supports the fact that Levicia was a widow: "Miscellaneous Abstracts from Pre-Civil War Cheraw, South Carolina Newspapers" by James C. Pigg, 1996, Page 25, which describes the "Sheriff's Sale" of the estate of "Drewry Boatright" in Nov 1838. Source: Ken Norman

Notes for JOHN MARTIN BOATWRIGHT:
See link for photos of John Martin and Eunica Atkinson Boatwright.
John Martin Boatwright (1826-1910) was born in Chesterfield District, South Carolina on
March 13, 1826. He came to Henry County, Alabama in 1845 at the age of 19 with a
relative, Mr. Michael Holmes, who was age 18 at the time. They settled near Franklin in
the Northeastern part of Henry County. The community where they lived was sometimes
called Wesley and sometimes Hilliardsville. At the present time, it is called Screamer.
Kyle A. Boatwright, grandson of John Martin Boatwright, often remarked that his
grandfather, whom he called "Old Pap", came to Henry County as a young man with his
cousin, Mr. Holmes. In the Abbeville Times dated September 24, 1886, there is an
article giving the account of the death of Mr. Mike or Michael Holmes. The article
stated that he (Mike) came to Henry County in 1845 with only $2.50 in his pocket bringing
his widowed mother, five sisters, and one brother, Ned, who was killed near Atlanta,
Georgia in 1864. Mr. Holmes died on September 20, 1886 at his home in Wesley and is
buried in the Judson Cemetery. He was born on July 22, 1827, as shown on his tombstone.
As shown in the Family Record in the Family Bible of John Martin Boatwright and his wife, Eunica Atkinson, they were married on June 28, 1846 by William Gamble. John M. Boatwright was in his 83rd year when he died on January 9, 1910. He spent his entire life in the Judson Community in Henry County, except for the first nineteen years when he lived in South Carolina where he was born, and the time he spent in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. He was in the 6th Alabama Cavalry, CSA, Clariton Brigade and was discharged at Vicksburg, Mississippi at the close of the Civil War in April 1865. The circumstances leading to his migration to Henry County, Alabama are not known, whether he was an orphan joining relatives to come to this new place, or whether he was just an adventuresome youth leaving his family and home in South Carolina to seek his fortune on the new frontier.
After their marriage in 1846, John and Eunica established their home in Henry County. They built a house of logs and, as was the custom in those days, it was built in two units. The front house was for living and sleeping and a separate room at the back was for cooking and eating. There was bedroom space in the loft of the front house. The hall separating the two parts of the house was known as the dog run. It was a modest farm home and was built on land they owned located less than a mile from the Judson Church. The Judson Church was established in 1850. Some land was deeded to the Church for the cemetery by John Boatwright. (Deed Book H, p. 453 and 455, Henry County Deed Records).
John Boatwright was a farmer and derived his living from the land. The amount of land he owned and cultivated is not known. Some of his land must have been homesteaded. He was only twenty years of age when he married and started his family, so his farming operation was not on a large scale like some of his neighbors. The number of slaves he owned is not known, although he must have had a few. There are some black Boatwrights living in Henry County now who are descendents of his slaves. The Henry County Deed Records indicate that he bought 98 acres of land from the Thurman Estate for $1,463 on March 7, 1864 (Deed Book K, p. 716), but this was years later during the Civil War.

The 6th Alabama Cavalry was organized near Pine Level, early in 1863, as part of
Brig. Gen'l James H. Clanton's brigade. Recruits were gathered from Barour, Coffee,
Coosa, Henry, Macon, Montgomery, Pike, and Tallapoosa counties. It was first engaged
near Pollard with a column of the enemy that moved out from Pensacola. Ordered then
to North Alabama, the 6th was concerned in several skirmishes near Decatur, with
small loss. During the Atlanta-Dalton campaign, the regiment served for several
weeks as part of Brig. Gen'l Samuel W. Ferguson's and Brig. Gen'l Frank C.
Armstrong's brigades, losing quite a number. A portion of the regiment resisted Maj.
Gen'l Lovel H. Rousseau at Ten Islands, losing a number killed and captured.
Transferred to West Florida, the 6th fought Maj. Gen'l Frederick Steele's column at
Bluff Springs, under orders from Col Armstead, and its loss was severe, especially
in prisoners. The remnant fought Maj. Gen'l James H. Wilson's column, and laid down
their arms at Gainesville, fewer than 200 men.
Field officers: Col. Charles H. Colvin, Lt. Col. Washington T. Lary (captured at Ten Islands); Major Eliphalet Ariel McWhorter (captured at Ten Islands, Bluff Springs); and Adjutant Joseph A. Robertson.

Notes for EUNICA ATKINSON:
Eunica Atkinson Boatwright (1828-1907) was born in Henry County, Alabama in April 30, 1828, the first child of John Atkinson and Jane Gamble. She lived her entire life in the Judson Community in Henry County and died at the age of 79 at her home on September 30, 1907. John M. and Eunica Boatwright are both buried in the Judson Church Cemetery.
Eunica was willed some land by her father, John Atkinson, but after his death in 1876, she deeded it back to her mother. According to the newspaper account of the death of Eunica Atkinson Boatwright on September 30, 1907, John and Eunica Boatwright were the parents of six children, four boys and two girls. The first child, a son, Edwin W. (noted as "Edmund W." in the newspaper account) was born exactly one year from the date of their marriage, June 18, 1847. Hiram Gilmore was born on October 16, 1849. Mary Jane on May 16, 1856 and Reubin Arcannie on October 22, 1861. These births are recorded in the Family Bible. The other two children whose names are not recorded in the Family Bible were mentioned in the newspaper article, but no names were given. There is no record of their names or when they were born or died except the 1860 Henry County Census shows Drewry, age 8, in the household of John Boatwright. According to this, his year of birth would have been 1852. The other child is not listed in the 1850, 1860, 1870 or 1880 Census records. Drewry must have died sometime between 1860 and 1870, since he is not listed in the 1870 Census, but was listed in the 1860 Census. It is not known whether he lived to adulthood (moving away from home before the 1870 Census) or not. The four children whose names are recorded in the Family Bible grew up on the farm in the Judson Community.
